Not a big deal.... Occlusal forces sometimes fractures the filling specially fillings that r done in class 2 cavity..(.. In between two teeth) visit ur dentist and get a new filling done.... Or else root canal with crown if u want a long term solution

Greetings, Sir , if there is any symptoms like pain or sensitivity you should visit a dentist and get it treated But if you dont have any symptoms only filling has been broken you can replace it. Hope it will help you.

Dear Patient Chewing forces of teeth are heavy . It's normal for some breakage in the filling if you don't take precautions . Usually a refilling would be enough to save the tooth. Eating very hard foods can damage even permanent filling. The exact cause can be known after check-up. Hope this helps
